Frying function
This function is used for frying on the front hotplates, regulating
the temperature of the pan.
Deep-frying features
The hotplate only heats when necessary. This way energy is
saved. The oil and fat do not overheat.
Notes
■
Never leave oil or fat cooking unattended.
■
Place the pan at the centre of the hotplate. Ensure that the
base of the pan is the right diameter.
■
Do not cover the pan with a lid. Doing so will cause the
automatic regulation not to function. A protective screen may
be used without affecting the automatic regulation
■
Only use oil which is suitable for frying. If using butter,
margarine, olive oil or pork lard, select the min temperature
setting.
Pans to use with the frying function
There are pans suited to this function which may be purchased
